Reserves:
Emerald 11. ZK030 acted as whip and left formation
Emerald 12. ZK014 has been indicated as air spare.
Ruby 12. XX174 208(R)Sqn has been indicated as air spare
Ruby 13. XX230 208(R)Sqn not listed anywhere yet as air spare but I came up with the following logic: XX174 was seen departing together with XX230 at Yeovilton. XX230 came also in as one of the 3 first a/c to arrive at Brize. The others 2 were XX174 and XX184/CQ (both spare a/c).
Ingot 7. XX184/CQ 100sq has been indicated as air spare.

The main information of the Hawk list was taken from http://www.fightercontrol.co.uk/forum/v ... 24&t=58629. Cheesy thanks for that! I added all other information copied from various sources

Hope this helps.
